Dan, Like someone advised you earlier on another of your threads, you should ask for advice BEFORE you buy a coin. edit Grey Sheet for a...
I have taken the public tour and was disappointed having had tours that took me on the floor rather than looking at the operations from a gallery...
Larger photos would help.
264,000 1916-D Mercury Dimes were struck but it is estimated that well over 1,000,000 can be found in collections.
From what little I can see in the photos the damage and the wear move the coin from the several-thousand-dollar range down into the...
No problem, cube. I was just getting tired of the path you were leading me down. I'm glad you now understand what I was trying (poorly as it turns...
Thank you for not lecturing me. I am very well-versed in math. I took numerous math courses in college (more than I can count over 30 years...
Yes, they are planchets (with a raised rim), not blanks (with no raised rim). To my understanding, the copper plating is applied after the rim is...
They would fit nicely in a type set of holed coins. (I am close to filling my Dansco 7070 with holed coins.)
Yeah, I have a few of those myself. Also, how can anyone authenticate an unstruck planchet is from any particular year? Copper-plated zinc cents...
Who graded it? Is it slabbed? If so, by whom?
You should drop by sometime and get some answers to our questions: Do they only round up or do they also round down? The example cited in the...
That is why I included the word 'potentially'. (That was to address those examples where the total bill did not include a penalty (e.g., $100) and...
The no-change policy has a greater effect on small bills. I checked their menu and the cheapest item I saw was $3. Assuming 6% tax (as someone...
Another bit of advice - don't do anything to the coin. Don't clean it. Don't handle it. Don't do anything to damage the coin. A small drop in...
No. You are correct. An Eagle is $10 so a Half Eagle is $5. To warrant a $200k price tag your coin would have to grade MS-65 or higher. It is...
No, it does not impy that at all. If you carefully read the article I quoted in the opening post you will see that the restaurant does indeed...
A genuine US $10 gold coin (Eagle) currently has a melt value of $662. I would jump all over that (if it is genuine).
TPGs rarely use a loupe when grading a coin, much less a microscope. If I am understanding you correctly, a 'dink' on a die would would be a...
Welcome. Good photos are needed to be able to help you.
